I have a dataset with some information on a sample of married
couples. For identifying a single person, one needs to know a
"site"-number, "family"-number withing the site, and then the
"person"-number within the family. As this is a subsample of some
bigger dataset, so not all sites/families/persons are presented in
it. Let's say, something like:
site family person personal_labor_income
1 1 1 2000
1 1 2 2300
1 2 1 200
1 2 3 3000
2 10 4 3400
2 10 5 3500
THE PROBLEM: I need to create a variable containing the "personal
labor income" of partner.
Unfortunately, I've spent a day, and havn't
succeded to solve this seemingly simple problem. I will be grateful for
any hints.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Ekaterina
